First of all WOW! I love this snake!
Thing is, it opens up a can of worms for me. The term leucistic refers to the cells inability to make pigmentation right? Thats why the scales on a lucy are white. Why then when introducing the albino gene does a pattern appear??? It shouldn't happen. If a cell is not making pigment then how can you remove pigment?? It shouldn't be possible, but yet theres the proof!! If this is the case as seems to be, it means you could throw a spider into the mix and have a pink and white spider!
Congrats Vin!
